ZEITGEIST - 'SPIRIT OF THE TIMES'
This page exists to create awareness of the Zeitgeist Movement whose admirable aim is to start the transitionary process from a monetary based world economy to a resource based one that will benefit all of humanity.
Zeitgeist day in 2009 was Sunday, March 15 and events were held around the world to promote the movement.
For those of you who are not aware, there are two films by Peter Joseph -
Zeitgeist & Zeitgeist Addendum
- which set the background for the formation of a movement which is also associated with the Venus Project - named not after the planet but the hometown of its founder, Jacque Fresco.
Here are some key points:
The whole world is basically bankrupt.
Natural Law 1:
Every human needs adequate nutrition, clean air and clean water and therefore must respect the symbiotic environmental processes inherent.
Our behavior should be guided by the priority of seeking the highest optimization of circumstances that preserve and maximize the abundance and quality of our necessities of life.
Natural Law 2:
The only constant is change and human understandings are always in transition.
Everything we think and “know” are only probabilities
The fact is, energy is nothing but abundant on this planet.
In the words of Carl Sagan:
”The old appeals to racial, sexual and religious chauvinism, to rabid nationalist fervor, are beginning not to work. A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism, and recognizes that an organism at war with itself, is doomed.
We are one planet.”
Coincidentally during Zeitgeist day I discovered an excellent site which perfectly illustrates the message of the movement: The Story of Stuff
If you live in the north-west region of the UK and are interested in becoming part of a local group of like-minded people then please feel free to drop in to the Farmers Arms, Radcliffe Road, Bolton - meetings start at 7.30pm on Thursday and 1.30pm on Sunday and are hosted by Gareth Jones whose own site, www.fidgit.co.uk, is a mine of extremely useful information and startling facts.
IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP
& TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN LIFE
STOP WATCHING YOUR TV / DON'T READ NEWSPAPERS
IF YOU ALWAYS THINK WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT,
YOU WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS GOT
